Ehh, I don't think exclusive indies would help them too much in the long run.

Useful, but it's Nintendo's exclusives that matter more in the end.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

That's stupid. They're basically saying that indies aren't worth investing money into, but bigger games are.

The question is do wii U owners really want those games anyway?



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Can't speak for everyone of course, but I do, very much so even.

They say it isn't worth to invest money in exclusivity; which is true, very very few indie games actually make an impact.

I think everyone needs to watch this before they comment in this thread.

I think a lot of people in this thread fail at reading comprehension and should probably go back to grade school. Some of the concolusions drawn in this thread are mind blowing.

how many of you would actually buy a console because of exclusive indies?

for example
if you were to choose between

1. xbox one with just one game and that game is halo 5 and you can only get this one game
2. ps4 with all of the exclusive indie games that it has. and you cannot add any game that is not an exclusive indie.

I do not like halo 5, infact fps are the games i dislike the most but i'll take that xone with halo 5 over that ps4 with a bunch of exclusive indies.

Gotta love Nintendo's "holyer than thou" attitude.

I leave for a bit and come back to a thread as bad as this.

Nintendo says they want indies to decide for themselves what to do and have control over thier own decisions and do what's best for them and reach the widest audience they can and everyone is calling them the devil.

I'm at a loss for words to the level of negative skewing and lack of actual reading going on here.

 

Someone tell me this isnt the new norm for Nintendo threads
